third i burning man
20 foot tall rainbow lit giraffe with a blinky-light beacon to guide the way home at night…flame throwers as exclamation points to music and a randy good time…costumes ‘pon costumes ‘pon costumes combined, passing by at all times of day and night. the later the day the darker the night the brighter the bright in the costumes made up of light. with big things and small things and close things and far things lit up with a light or blink or a flick of a laser beam 30 feet in the air…where bunny rabbits and unicorns are the norm and boats both cruising and wrecked are afloat in a desert made up of dust…walking this way and that, riding towards this and riding from that, burning something that was here just for a tiny portion of a year…torn apart in a moments breath with a tear in the eye of more than a few, designer ball room gowns and dust masks adorned with jewles and patterns from places both here and beyond….dancing owls with humans as their innards brining in the dawn…roaming dance parties with dancing crews brewing cocktails for everyone including you…so much to do under the sun, but when it burnt yur bum, a hide in tent or a dome or in the shade of a roaring lion screaming reggae music as the sound of sanity in a land of umpa umpa electronique… platforms and ponies, slip in slide where clothes were the exception and not the rule and where one could see the ground for being no trace left behind….memories like flashes…sleeping and waking in a week long dream in which everyone lets the unconscious out into the collective stream…people losing their minds and finding them again, grounding were some while flying around were their kin. sun and moon earth and sky…and everything was pretty much alright. a whole lot of order to bring about such disorderly and re-orderly good time. sorry for the dust.
extra extra read all about it

Yoga May Elevate Brain GABA Levels, Suggesting Possible Treatment For Depression—ScienceDaily
(May 21, 2007) — Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) and McLean Hospital have found that practicing yoga may elevate brain gamma-aminobutyric (GABA) levels, the brain’s primary inhibitory neurotransmitter. The findings, which appear in the May issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, suggest that the practice of yoga be explored as a possible treatment for depression and anxiety, disorders associated with low GABA levels…. ”Our findings clearly demonstrate that in experienced yoga practitioners, brain GABA levels increase after a session of yoga,” said lead author Chris Streeter, MD, an assistant professor of psychiatry and neurology at BUSM and a research associate at McLean Hospital.

winter time the time of rest and rejuventation
charging the batteries
charging the kidneys
the kidney meridian runs along the inner line
so charging the inner legs charges your life and gets you ready for the warmer times.

the bridge between yesterday and today
has been crossed.
the journey continues
into new places and new surroundings,
yet with familiar faces.
the journey to who we are
is mapped out with experience and adventure,
positive
and not so.
each showing us just a bit more
of who we are,
who we want to be,
and
who we don’t.
i thank you for joining me here,
in this space,
as i begin to exhibit pieces of the world
i have seen,
both within
and
without.
may your journey be filled
with sparks of inspiration
that lead you to follow your own inner light,
so that together we may
illumine the world.
